You can see wild elephants, white footed gaur (the world's largest wild cattle), leopards, wild boar, sloth bear and several species of deer including the spotted, barking, samber and hog deer. It is also the home of the one-horned rhinoceros and harbors one of the largest populations of the exclusive and rare Royal Bengal tiger. The swampy areas and numerous ox-bow lakes provide the perfect habitat for marsh crocodiles. The park hosts 450 species of birds. The Tharu people who are the pre-dominant residents of this area have unique cultural traditions. In Chitwan there are many lodges outside and inside the park as per visitor's budget and interest.
